If your footwear has a burnished effect on the toes and sides (we apply a darker polish to some of our brown vegan leather uppers for effect), this is best reapplied by a cobbler, or at home using a darker shade of polish worked around the toes and sides."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Drying:","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" You can dry your footwear on top of or near a radiator or other heat source. Depending on the heat, it can take a few days to dry out the insides fully. Never put your footwear in the washing machine."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Deodorising:","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" Don't let your footwear stay damp between wears, especially inside boots, as this can damage the water resistance and let microbes develop, causing a smell. If this happens, dry the footwear thoroughly and use a footwear deodoriser until the smell stops. In extreme cases, wash the insides out with warm soapy water, then dry fully and reapply the deodoriser."}]},{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Waterproofing (optional):","bold":true},{"type":"text","value":" You can treat the uppers with a waterproofing spray to improve durability, stain resistance and water resistance. We recommend doing this every 2–3 months depending on use — most standard waterproofing sprays work fine on our vegan leather."}]}]}
